And you will know us by the trail of dead Hoggers. Welcome to the Bastards1. A healer who goes AFK, an aggro-happy warlock, a self-centred paladin, and a psychotic shaman. It's the perfect group. The shaman starts as we mean to go on, slaughtering Bambi as ...

The instance entrance to the Stormwind Stockades is a portal to a mirror universe. With a bit of time at the end of the Deadmines run last week, Melmoth and I try to complete what we started by slaughtering the remaining Defias Brotherhood criminals, those that were caught and ...

Melmoth's hunter and my mage are tasked with entering a dangerous hideout of the Defias Brotherhood and to stop its leader, the dreaded Van Cleef, by whatever means. It must be an inordinately difficult challenge if no one has managed to defeat Van Cleef yet, several years in to ...

It seems that I am still nervous about meeting new people. Despite wanting to level Sapphire quickly so that I can get to the Outlands and start tanking for my transatlantic group, and for a better chance of getting in to other instances, I turned down a random invitation ...

Having recently mused about getting my neglected tank in World of Warcraft levelled up quickly so that I can enter the Outlands I logged in to see what I could do. I was concerned about running through the same content yet again, particularly as I had neglected Sapphire because ...

Thursday, July 31st, 2008
With my transatlantic World of Warcraft group having reached 60th level and hit the Outlands the XP race, caused by the increased experience gains between 20th and 60th levels, has been slowed. There is less risk of racing ahead of the group by a few levels, where even those ...
